The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Town of Speedway realized a new and grander entrance was needed for the racing capital of the world. Project priorities included creating a more pedestrian-friendly atmosphere around the track while providing for active and passive recreation opportunities, which were in short supply within the Town of Speedway. The concept plan includes sports venues, an interpretive pedestrian promenade featuring public art, and landscaping that also serves to buffer surrounding residential neighborhoods from the track activities. The pedestrian facilities are integrated into the community’s larger pedestrian trail network.
